I'm in the same boat, except I'm still saving up so i think i'll keep researching and building my team until next year. 

I’m reaching out because I’m wondering if you might be interested in selling your house.Before going any further I want to point out:I am NOT a realtor.I am NOT a rich Californinan trying to buy their 4th house.I am just a hard-working young man from Wisconsin trying to build a life for myself in -----------.As I’m sure you are aware, the current housing situation is making it extremely difficult for normal, working class people to find a house.

@Kayley Brumagin  Congratulations on passing the exam and getting through the classes, it takes some dedication & hard work. 

NJ has stopped self-paced online learning now so if you do online, I think all of the current classes are still live, even if online.

You'll want the plus version, which allows for class tracking. 

honestly I'm looking at some value add properties in I believe its the greenvale neighborhood (zip 73127)just trying to assess the area is the area closer to class c or c+? 

I use first class mail and if it doesn't get cashed after 12 months we escheat it to the state.Regarding their mail, I wouldn't be holding that, it's actually a felony for you to remove any mail from someone else mailbox.

I have two one beds in Class A Bk neighborhoods, and they have not been easy to rent out lately, yes the market is rapidly improving, but it could still take some time to get the units filled, so I would be hesitant to pursue a deal where the margins are so tight. 

So with lower class rentals you should expect a better cash flow, but higher risk on someone not paying/destroying the property.

Assuming that somehow you can qualify for a high LTV (Loan To Value) loan (meaning small percentage down) you can purchase a place not far from San Diego State (El Cajon and Spring Valley are working class areas that are fairly safe and about 15 minutes from SDSU) and house hack with some roommates.
